Volkswagen Summer Maintenance

Prepare your VW in the Maplewood, MN Area for Summer With Automotive Services at Schmelz Countryside Volkswagen

As spring comes to a close and the summer heat arrives, you will want to make sure that your Volkswagen is ready for all the weather may bring. With higher temperatures in Minnesota, it is critical to keep up with preventative maintenance, such as routine oil changes. Make sure that your engine doesn’t overheat by having your cooling system checked, and make sure that you don’t overheat by having your A/C system checked. Take advantage of our complementary inspection at Schmelz Countryside Volkswagen in Maplewood near you. We can see if the cooler weather caused any underlying damage that you may not be aware of. We can then help repair those problem areas quickly and accurately, so you can get back on the road and on to your next adventure.

 

How To Prepare Your VW for the Summer Months Ahead

With the summer months quickly approaching, our certified technicians strongly recommend getting your vehicle primed and ready for the activities in which you want to participate. We recommend the following common services to prepare your vehicle:

  • Complimentary multi-point inspection to identify any underlying concerns
  • Air conditioning inspection, to make sure your system is blowing cold air
  • Inspection of your engine’s cooling system to make sure it doesn’t overheat
  • Tire pressure check and examination of the condition of your tires
  • Wheel alignment check to make sure the angles of your wheels match those recommended by the manufacturer
  • Battery diagnostics and inspection of the various connections
  • Examination of your headlights and taillights

Importance of Having Your Volkswagen Inspected

The heat of summer months can exacerbate problems that may already exist within your Volkswagen. Catching a problem early on, and having it repaired by our certified technicians, can prevent a minor issue from festering and escalating into severe damage to your vehicle. Make sure your VW is running properly and smoothly by bringing your VW in for a full inspection. Get it ready for whatever your summer may hold, so you can drive more comfortably and in a reliable vehicle.

Risk of Delaying Maintenance and Repairs before Summer

Don’t risk the various issues that can arise because you ignored the warning signs and didn’t have the small issues corrected early on. This is especially true of your air conditioning system, which is put to greater use during the hotter months. Having the proper fluids circulating within the various components of your vehicle that require lubrication and cooling is also critical to your Volkswagen’s functionality. Don’t let your engine overheat due to a faulty cooling system or lack of motor oil.
